OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT

To design, develop and deliver e-contents and videos for

Manufacturing Technology Courses for UG/PG students and Industry

people.

Manufacturing sector is very poor in our country due to less

no. of trained & skilled people in the area. Manufacturing Technology

is fast changing and therefore many new courses of UG and PG level

has been need of the country.

These courses will be developed by very experienced

professors in the institute and across the region interactive in nature

will be helpful to UG/PG students at world class standards.

Methodology

The time bound technical, Video Lab/computational facility to

develop with following methodology

(i)Developing an studio for the PURWANCHAL region with the following facilities such

as: (a) Camera Photography – still and video (b) Video mixing, sound mixing and

dubbing (c) Recoding, editing, storage & Transmission facility. – (Require rooms,

Equipments ,Software & personals)

(ii)Based on availability of items (i), Developing a channel of E-content and E-video

development process. (to have slot based interactive, user-friendly & problem solving

& suggestive, online test /examining modules)

(iii)based on steps i) & ii), Developing the courses keeping world class standards and

quality measures. (Content-wise, sound/picture & Video quality wise best,

interruption less session)

(iv)Based on iii) linking the courses to the National mission HUB.

These objectives will also help our UG/PG students & Industry people to

learn more and more about the Manufacturing Technology related to

various sectors.

Deliverables year wise and its possible contribution to major objectives of mission

Manufacturing is fast changing. It is experience based, practice based, skill based and

Technology based. These courses are to be developed keeping the mission objectives in mind. Initially these courses may be developed:

Mechanics of Metal Forming - I st year new course

Technology of Metal Forming - I st year new course

Computer Integrated Manufacturing - II nd year new course

Technology for Competitive Manufacturing - II nd year, new course

Unconventional Manufacturing Processes – III rd year new course

Computer Aided Manufacturing - IV th year, new course

Product Design and Development techniques etc.

These courses with video and interactive aids may be developed.

The basic steps are:

1. Preparing course titles & Contents

2. Compilation of materials (audio, video, clips, images) for the title

3. Identify Key word and words of more information for the last users

4. Adding sound, videos & figures , industry clips, animation etc. and

Editing

5. Adding Instructiveness, problem solving & suggestiveness, online test

/examining modules & interfacing modules w.r.t step 3.

6. Quality control , re-editing for final version

7. Linking the courses to National Mission program.

7

Title & Content search

Material collection (Adios , Video, Clips, Still photo, experience, Algorithm etc.

Develop Interfaces, programs , tools to internal links of the course matter

Develop user-friendlyness, interactions, suggestiveness, on-line test etc. and links

Execution of simulation and analysis using above features

Is the QUALITY OK/ TESTED?

LINK with the NMOECTC

Models modification

and recreation

Implementation of e- contents

Importance of the Project, Quantification & likely gains

The high quality courses would be used by UG/PG and Industry people

all over the world. It may be sold on demand to Institutions and

organizations.

Possible Gains:

1. Within the reach of users (UG/PG/Industry/ technicians).

2. This will lead to further development for materials and process development in the country.

Like:

E-Laboratory

Virtual Laboratory & Experiments

Video conferencing Classes

National Status

In India also there are various institutions and laboratories without

experienced faculty members.

No. of private Engineering colleges: more than 2500

No. of Other Indirect Institutions: more than 1000

No. of Industries more than 3000

Only 25000 students pass out from IIT, NIT, Govt. Engg. Colleges and

Universities.
